3. SPECIFICATIONS

3.1. Running principle

The thermodynamic solar system ECO, is an equipment based upon the principle of cooling by compression – Principle of Car-not – which we designate Thermodynamic Solar Systems: solar panel and heat-pump. The solar panel, the main component, placed outside, is in charge of collecting the energy from:

• Diffuse and direct solar radiation.• External air, by natural convection.• The wind effect (almost invariably

available).• Rainwater.

The temperature gradient caused by the ex-ternal agents mentioned, ensures the klea (ecological cooling fluid) will evaporate in-side the solar panel.

The absence of glass in the panel allows for an increased thermal exchange by convec-tion.

After circulation in the panel, the klea is as-pirated by the system’s mechanical compo-nent, the compressor, which will increase its temperature and pressure; it is then trans-ferred to the water circuit through a heat exchanger.

Before the Klea returns to the solar panel it is necessary that there should be a narrow-ing, that is, reduce the pressure and ensure that it is again in a liquid state, thus com-pleting the cycle.

The easy way we combine technology with a law of Nature (change of state of a flu-id), demonstrates the true potential of the Thermodynamic Solar System - ECO.

3.5. Safety and Control Devices

3.5.1. Pressure gauge of high/low pressure

In case of running outside the range of pressures recommended and defined by the supplier, the equipment will switch off and indicate error in the electronic panel.

3.5.2. Safety Thermostat

The safety thermostat is set by the suppli-er to ensure that the water temperature in the storage water heater does not exceed the standard value. Should the temperature exceed this value, the thermostat switches off the support resistance. Switching on is done manually by qualified staff, after ana-lysing the reasons for the switch off.

3.5.3. Temperature Sensor

The temperature sensor has the purpose of measuring the values of temperature of water in the storage water heater in order to control the thermodynamic solar system.

The R134a is a HFC coolant, thus not harm-ful to the ozone layer. It has great chemical and thermal stability, low toxicity, non-in-flammable, and is compatible with most materials. The following graphic depicts the behaviour of pressure according to temperature vari-ation.

3.5.4. Protection against corrosion

The storage water heater in this equipment can be of two types: Stainless steel or Enam-elled.Besides being resistant to corrosion, the stor-age water heater has in addition a magnesi-um anode that should be checked periodical-ly according to information by the installer.

3.5.5. Dielectric Joint (except stainless steel tank)

Your equipment contains two dielectric joint. These joints prevent electron exchange be-tween the pipes of water inlet and outlet and the storage water heater itself. This creates further protection against corrosion that could take place between these points.

So the installer must tighten the joints (A) in the water inlet and outlet (B), be fore at-taching the piping (C).

3.5.6. Expansion Vessel

The expansion vessel is a device whose pur-pose is to compensate for the increase in water volume due to temperature rise.

Installing this device is recom-mended procedure for a correct installation of the equipment.

Installing this device is the re-sponsibility of the installer.

As a general rule it is installed in the cold water pipe.

ECO

3.5.7. Safety Device

The safety device allows the system to be protected against anomaly situations: cold water supply, hot water flowing back, em tying the storage water heater and high pressure. The valve is calibrated to activate at 0.7 Mpa.

In order to drain the water in the storage water heater, you should close the supply valve and open the discharge valve.

The safety valve discharge pipe must be open into the atmosphere, because the va ve may drip water or even discharge water.

The safety valve must be opened regular-ly to remove impurities and check that it is not blocked. The discharge pipe must be in-stalled in a vertical position.

Technical Manual

Eng

lish

The installation of the safety group ought to take into ac-count the correct direction of the hydraulic flow.

The correct direction is repre-sented by an arrow on the com-ponent itself.

An incorrect installation rep-resents a danger to both the equipment and personnel.

DANGER

3.5.8. Pressure Reducing Valve

The pressure reducing valve must always be installed upstream from the safety device, and ready to activate in situations when the pressure in the circuit exceeds 3 bar.

This valve comes with a pressure gauge.

4. INSTALLATION

Assembly sequence:

• Solar panel• Storage water heater• Thermodynamic block• Cooling connection (aspiration, liquid)• Hydraulic connections• Electric connections• Nitrogen load• Vacuum• Installation start-up

4.1. Attachment of Panel

The nature of the site and the inclination an-gle where the panels are installed are impor-tant factors to take into account. In order to benefit the most from the sunlight exposure, the panels.

Should have a pitch between 100 and 850 rel-ative to the horizontal plane, and preferably oriented to the south.

The panel already comes with 6 holes for M8 in the lateral skirts. The distance between holes in the place where the panel rests, should coincide with the holes made in the panel.

The installation of the pressure reducing valve ought to take into account the correct direc-tion of the hydraulic flow.

The correct direction is repre-sented by an arrow on the com-ponent itself.

An incorrect installation rep-resents a danger to both the equipment and personnel.

f) Once the vacuum procedure is over, shut the vacuum pump valves. The vacuum pressure gauge should indicate the same reading after the pump has stopped, en-suring the installation is in a vacuum and ready for running the coolant;

g) After concluding the vacuum proce-dure you must open the two valves so that the coolant may circulate throughout the whole system; the installation keeps the vacuum steady and is ready for running the coolant;

h) Remove hose connected to 3-way valve.

Open Valves

A – 2-Way Valve B – 3-Way Valve

After concluding the vacuum, do not remove the hoses while the system is not completely pressur-ized by the coolant.This way, atmospheric air (atmos-pheric pressure) is prevented from entering the system (vacuum).

4.3.5. Checking good running condition

To check whether your equipment is running correctly, start it and wait at least 30 minutes and then check these conditions:

• Super-heating, without solar radiation directly over the panel, should be within the range 50C to 100C (Super-heating = Tsuction - Tevaporation);

• The gradient between the gas tempera-ture at the condenser inlet and the con-densation temperature must be within the range 160C to 200C.

4.3.6. Load of Complementary Cooling Fluid (if necessary)

Your unit has been pre-loaded for connec-tions up to 12m (horizontal) between the panel and the storage water heater. Longer distances will decrease the performance of your equipment.Before carrying out an additional load of gas into you equipment, you must prepare all the equipment and tools necessary for the oper-ation, such as:• Gas bottles and their hoses• Hexagonal-tip wrench to open the 3-way

valve• Scale with precision of 10 g

To carry out a complementary load of gas, follow these steps:

a) Place the cooling fluid tank on a scale with a 10 g precision and take note of the weight;b) Connect the hose of the cooling fluid tank (R134a) to the inlet of the 3-way valve;c) Switch off the compressor on the elec-tronic panel;d) Open carefully and only slightly the han-dle of the cooling fluid tank, notice the vari-ation of the figure indicated in the scale (as you load fluid into the circuit, the figure for the weight in the scale will decrease);e) When your reach the figure intended for the injection of cooling fluid into the circuit, close the tank handle and remove the hose connected to the 3-way valve;f) Switch on the compressor again and check how it runs.

4.4. Hydraulic Couplings

The water you use may contain impurities and/or substances damaging to the sys-tem and even harmful to your health. Make sure you use water with quality fitting for home consumption. The following table indicates some parameters according to which water must be subjected to chem-ical treatment.

Hardness(0dH)

pH Treatment

3,0 up to 20,0 6,5 up to 8,5 No

3,0 up to 20,0 <6,5 up to >8,5 Yes

<3,0 or >20,0 ----------------- Yes

WARNING/DANGER

To assemble the couplings of the hydraulic circuit you must:

a) Connect the water inlet and outlet of the equipment with a pipe and fittings that can cope with constant temperature / pressure of 75 0C / 7 bar. For this reason we recom-mend the use of piping with resistance to high temperature and pressure. We recom-mend the use of pipe type PEX, PPR, MUL-TICAMADA, amongst others;

b) It is necessary to install a safety device at the cold water inlet of the appliance. The safety device must be in compliance with the standard EN 1487:2002, maximum pressure 7 bar (0.7 MPa);

c) Besides this device, other components will be necessary to ensure the interruption of the hydraulic load, installed according to this sequence:

• Retainer valve / gate valve• Pressure throttle valve (in case the

cold water inlet pressure exceeds 4.5 bar)

• Safety valve / discharge valve• Expansion tank

The safety/discharge valve must be con-nected with piping whose diameter is not

less than the cold water inlet coupling. The discharge must be connected to a sewage siphon or, if this is not possible, elevated to a distance of at least 20 mm from the pave-ment to allow visual inspection.

We recommend the installation of a shut-off / section valve between the gate valve and the coupling to the storage water heater for the purpose of maintenance, safety or emergency.The Manufacturer is not responsi-ble for damage related to not fol-lowing these recommendations / warnings.

4.5. Electric Connections

To establish the electric connection of the equipment, check these conditions:

a) The thermodynamic equipment must be plugged to the power supply only after fill-ing the storage water heater (see chapter “5. First Use”);

b) The thermodynamic equipment must be connected to a monophase voltage (230 V AC/50Hz);

c) The connections must comply with the standards of installation in effect in the ter-ritory or country where the thermodynam-ic equipment has been installed;

d) Earth wiring is obligatory.

It’s recommended that the installation in-cludes:

• Bipolar circuit-breaker with connection cable with section equal to or exceeding 2.5 mm;

• Protection differential circuit breaker of 30 mA.

The safety thermostat of this ther-modynamic equipment must not, under any circumstance, undergo any repair outside the installations of the manufacturer.

Not complying with this clause invalidates the warranty of the equipment.

ECO

6.4.1. ECO Operating Mode

In ECO operating mode, the equipment runs only as a Thermodynamic System to heat the water in the storage water heater. Thus we could generate a greater efficiency, and sav-ings for the user.

Every time the user feels it necessary, he/she may switch on the support resistance, using this mode, manually pressing the key (E-HEATER). In these circumstances the equipment will automatically change operat-ing mode to BOOST and indicates the reason of its activation (over the resistance). If you switch off the resistance manually, the equip-ment will begin to run again in ECO mode.

6.4.2. AUTO Operating Mode

In AUTO operating mode, the equipment will run as a Heat Pump and/or Resistance, and the operation of the resistance is managed in an optimized way for the purpose of keeping up the efficiency of the equipment.The resistance will start every time:

• The user activates it manually (key E-Heater);

• The contact LP opens (low external tem-perature, lack of fluid, leak in the circuit, etc.);

• The time for running the compressor ex-ceeds parameter T05*;

• The water temperature is below P08*.

* Parameter is adjustable (ON/OFF)

6.4.3. BOOST Operating Mode

In BOOST operating mode, the equipment runs as a Thermodynamic System + Resist-ance, and the running of the electrical resist-ance is simultaneous with the Thermody-namic System. This mode enables the user to obtain hot water in less time.

The user can change the operating mode when he wishes, he need only press simul-taneously the keys MENU + OK/LOCK for 3 seconds and select the mode that suits his needs with the cursor.

lish11.1. General Inspection

During the equipment’s useful life, the owner should carry out a general inspection of the equipment, according to the place where the equipment is set up:

• External cleaning of equipment and sur-rounding areas with a wet cloth;

• Visual inspection of the whole equip-ment, with the purpose of detecting possible leaks and damaged devices.

11.2. Magnesium Anode (if applica-ble)

This equipment has a magnesium anode that together with the building material of the tank will provide an effective protection against corrosion.

The internal shielding of the tank will ensure an effective protection against corrosion contributing to a water quality within the parameters considered normal. However, the characteristics of the water change accord-ing to the installation.

In your living area, the quality of the water can be aggressive to your equipment. So to-gether with the equipment there is a magne-sium anode that wears over time (disposable device), thus protecting your equipment.

The wear of the anode always depends on the characteristics of the water you use. Thus, checking the condition of the anode is very important, particularly in the first years of the installation, so that you will have a good perception of the useful life left for the ap-pliance.

To check the condition of your anode follow these steps:

• Shut off water supply;• Remove pressure (for example, open a

hot water tap);• Unplug the appliance from the power

supply;• Unscrew the anode with a suitable tool;• Check the level of wear of the anode and

replace it, if necessary.

11.3. Cleaning Filter of Throttle Valve

For a periodic cleaning of the filter of the throttle valve, you should:

1. Shut off the water supply;2. Turn anti-clockwise until you remove

tension from the spring;3. Remove the handle;4. Remove filter and clean.

11.4. Safety Thermostat

The safety thermostat is deactivated when-ever there is an anomaly in the system, so that every time you plan to activate it, de-termine what happened that caused it to change its status mode.

If you could not determine what happened and it is still deactivated, contact customer service to have your problem solved.

If everything is in order and you intend to reactivate the thermostat, follow this proce-dure:

• Remove the hood, unscrewing the four bolts;

• Remove the lid (1);• Press key (2) to reactivate the thermo-

stat;• Replace the lid (1) and then the hood,

then screwing the four bolts.

11. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

11.5. Empty the Storage Water Heater

Remember that the water in the storage water heater is at high temperature, so there is an as-sociated risk of burns.Before emptying the storage water heater allow the water temperature to drop to a level that will avoid burns.

DANGER

After ensuring the water temperature is on a safe level that will avoid burns, follow this procedure:

• Unplug the system from the power sup-ply;

• Shut off the water supply valve and open a hot water tap;

• Open the system discharge valve.

12. DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT

The appliance contains refrigerant gas R134a, which should not be released into the atmos-phere. In case of permanent deactivation of the equipment, please contact a qualified technician for the purpose.

The crossed-out wheel-ie-bin symbol on the seal with features indi-cates that the product, at its end-of-life, must be treated separately from household / urban waste. It must be deliv-ered to a separate col-

lection centre for electrical / electronic equip-ment or returned to the retailer at the time of purchasing new equipment. The end-user is responsible for delivering the end-of-life de-vice to an appropriate collection centre. Ap-propriate differentiated delivery for recycling, treatment, and the environmentally compati-ble disposal of the equipment helps to avoid possible harmful effects on the environment and health, favouring the recycling of the ma-terials that make up the product. For more detailed information on the available collec-tion systems, please contact your local waste disposal service or the organization where you purchased the waste.
